i am scared to go to sleep because i am suicidal and i might not wake up again?

Answer 1

What are you scared of? Killing yourself in your sleep???

I'm not trying to 'mock' this person, but for one the chances of being able to do this whilst asleep are very slim, and when your suicidal you WANT to die, you aren't scared of dying.

Answer 2

Well go to sleep, cause that will keep you from being suicidal, i think you will wake up. It is just your thoughts that are bothering you, and you need to go and get some help for them , and you need to do that as soon as you can , so you can stop these suicidal thoughts.

Answer 3

Being suicidal shouldn't affect your sleeping. you need to see a therapist, suicide isn't a solution to anything. Why are you scared to go to sleep? your not going to commit suicide in your sleep, if you die in your sleep it's most likely going to be from a disease (god forbid) or old age.
Find someone you can trust and talk to them about you thoughts on suicide. Other people can help you.

I hope you find what you need
Good luck

Answer 4

Hi Stephen, dont know your situation but things are not that bad, if they are are talk to somebody. You can go to sleep cause you will get rest then and wake up and feel different. If you cannot talk to family or friend ring the Samaritans and speak to them, and by the way I am a single mum of 3, nan of 2 and have been through a lot of crap in my life and experienced friends killing themselves and its not good so PLEASE talk to somebody. LIFE is not that bad OK

Answer 5

Sorry to state the obvious but if you feel suicidal wouldn't not waking up be a bit of a result.

Answer 6

Practicing some breathing exercises help a lot
for worries, depression, stress, anxieties, etc. !
Mindfulness of Breathing exercises:
1) Be in a comfortable position, whether sitting
or lying down.
2) Have someone watch your children, for
about 10 or 15 min. then build up the time later.
Then close your eyes, and concentrate
totally on your breathing.
3) At the end of your first inhalation of oxygen,
count one. Keep doing this until you get to
ten.
4) Then focus your attention on breathing only
through your nostrils. which filter out all
the things, which are not healthy to breath
into your lungs. Be aware of the various
sensations through your nostrils, while you
continue the counting. When you get to
ten, start again at one.
5) When a distracting thought enters your mind
allow it to pass through {your mind], w/out
analyzing it, or judging it, or trying to fix it.
And then gently, patiently bring your full
attention back to your breath. Every time,
a distracting thought {any thought which
would take your attention of your breath),
comes to your mind, you need to use this
skillful, disciplinary process. And many
thoughts do come into our minds, especially
thoughts of worry, or pressing thoughts
which often dictate to us that we need to
do something else which is more impt.
Practice, practice, practice. This really
does work.

P.S. - the mindfulness of breathing helps with anger a lot too. Reading the book: "Working with Anger. by: Thubten Chodron will help
also, if your occasional anger really bothers
you. My wife went through the anger thing too, and I have in the past, when I was intolerant of others beliefs. Be very Patient with Yourself, and continue the practice of the Mindfulness of Breathing daily.
"This meditative practice, the mindfulness of breathing exercises are what Medical Doctors, many Psychiatrists, and especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapists teach their patients to help them use their intelligence to control symptoms of depression, anxiety, Bipolar,
ADHD, worries, lonliness and many other unwanted mental and
emotional states. Check out the books I have suggested to you. You'll do just fine. I have full
confidence in you; simply believe in yourself as well.

IF things are Really bad, see your family
Psychiatrist immediately. Take Care.

Answer 7

This is a very valid thing to be scared about. When you sleep, your subconscious takes over. If you have suicidal thoughts, or tendencies, while you are sleeping they may come true, or become real. I have freinds who have thought about cutting themselves, and then woken up the next morning with scratches and slits all down their arms. I say, relieve the stress in your life, in a healthy way. They did it, and now, they have been cut free for months !!! <3 good luck!~ ^_^







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~and to those who mocked him for having these thoughts, that is very foolish. these things CAN, DO, and HAVE happened.

Answer 8

Well if you are suicidal, it's a good thing from your point of view if you don't wake up. Right ?

Answer 9

if you can get to sleep you can't be that suicidal. Get in contact with someone close to you and have a chat with them tonight or tommorrow morning. Tommorrow is another day, take everything in your stride, figure out your worries and sort out your problems one by one.

Answer 10
